Cancer Treatment

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

I am a new member of this group, and I heard about this drug from a

doctor, who practices both alopathic, and alternative medicine. Below

is a brief description of the case for which this drug is considered

as

a part of the treatment protocol.

My 80 year old father was diagnosed with the squamous cell carcinoma

on

the left chick that was surgically removed 2 years ago. Four months

ago

he discovered some swelling behind the left ear. MRI showed

metastases

in multiple lymphatic nodes of the left salivary (parotid) gland

infiltrated into some surrounded tissues. The did the biopsy in July

that confirmed the stage IV SCC diagnosis. The surgery was done on

8/6.

The gland and some surrounding tissues along with a part of facial

nerve were removed. No distant metastasis has been found. We were

told

that radiotherapy was absolutely necessary, and my father will start

it

in a week. He is still in a very good physical shape (takes only

avalite, meclizin, and baby aspirin) and walks daily several miles,

but

after the surgery fatigue is very noticeable. He also follows a

healthy

mostly vegetarian diet (simplified Budwig), takes oleander extract,

essiac tea, and some ayurvedic preparations.

Has someone had some information/experience with this type of cancer?

We would greatly appreciate any comments or advice, especially if

it's

based on personal experience.

Best Regards,

Nekto

That's the kind of doctor I'd like to find if I had cancer.

I think nutrition can have a significant impact on beating cancer, too. One

nutrition problem I see is the use of meal replacements. Cancer patients

usually lose their sense appetite and sense of smell and taste become

distorted. So, they pump meal replacements, that are usually a soy base,

into the patient, which further destroys their immune system.

One of the last taste senses to go is the sweet. So, sweet foods still taste

good. Everything I've read says sugar feeds cancer. Usually they tell

patients to stay away from crucifers because of the vitamin K in the green

ones. The patient may well be on blood thinners because of a blood clot

caused by the cancer or the treatment.

Conventional medical professionals too often think the chemicals are so much

more powerful that the nutrition. Its very sad.

I know someone who had a rare cancer that was always terminal. No one has

ever lived more than 5 years with it, and 80% of those that contract it die

within 2.5 years. She thought as long as doctor was in touch with MD

, that was her best bet. A Cancer Treatment Center of America was in

her backyard, and she refused to go. She lived just over 3 years with the

disease and we were hopeful that she might be the first. She died of a heart

attack at age 38, probably caused by the chemo because chemo is so hard on

your heart. Hind sight shows what a blessing her heart attack was because

her parents never had to go through hospice and watching her totally

deteriorate.

This is an interesting thread. There is a doctor here who doesn't use the

politcally correct, approved chemo and radiation, and he has a much higher

success rate than the huge medical industry at the medical center here. The

AMA and cancer industry tried to shut him down a few years ago, and filed

charges against him. The first trial ended in a mistrial, and he was

acquitted the second time. His patients came in and were his witnesses -

incredible success, no illness or destroyed immune system from the

treatment. He is now doing his treatment under the supervision of the FDA,

as clinical trials, and they are on the FDA's website for clinical trials.

They told me this treatment is being used in other countries, but he's the

only one in the US who is using it.

I had a lymphoma scare this year, and talked to them, and researched

treatments. Chemo/radiation has about a 50% cure rate, and if you're over 60

it goes way down, in large part because older people can't tolerate the

treatment. This doctor has about a 90%+ cure rate. It's close to 100% if

someone hasn't had chemo/radiation first. The cure rate is reduced quite a

bit if someone has had chemo/radiation before going to him.

His treatment, as I understand it, is one treatment that turns off the genes

that produce the cancer, and another that turns on the genes that fight the

cancer, and it takes about 4-6 months. This is where I'd go if I ever had

cancer.

My mother had a form a pancreatic cancer which is usually terminal in 6 months.

With chemo/radiation she had 4 good enjoyable years after her diagnosis and died

at age 89. So, each person may have a different experience.

I'm very sorry for your loss .

I'm not sure how what happened to your mother relates to my friend. My

friend probably would have died sooner without treatment as well. She may

have lived longer with less chemo and more complimentary therapies, also.

Those are both guesses, but I don't think they are wild assumptions.

The kind of cancer is a HUGE part of the story. I've heard less than 5% of

women die of breast cancer now. 20 years ago, less than 5% survived 5 years

after diagnosis. Liver cancer used to be a certain death sentence, but not

anymore. Pancreatic cancer patients are living longer all the time because

more people are getting it, so more money is being invested in more

research.

The orphan cancers are and always will be hopeless. Not enough lives to be

saved to do the research.

I started LDN for metastatic breast cancer, but could only get the Rx after

having a hysterectomy/ovariectomy and starting up on an aromatase inhibitor. I

know there has been some question as to whether the AI's might negate the cancer

stabilizing effect of the LDN. I've had good relief from the bone pain and

fatigue that comes with the cancer, but am wondering if anyone else has had good

cancer stabilizing results from the LDN post-hysterectomy and/or while taking -

or after taking - AI's or tamoxifen?

for cancer and breast cancer you must change diet.you can go to the site knowthecause of doug kaufmann and learn about phase one diet.from time to time you see there women who go rid of their cancer with doug diet,and the important thing that it does not return

[Guest guest]

Hi Eileen,

My wife has been on LDN for metastatic breast cancer for over 2 years. She took

Tamoxifen for 5 years after her original diagnosis in 1998. She has also been

taking Arimidex and IV Zometa from her traditional onc. She had an oophorectomy

about 2 years ago.

Since 2nd chances aren't part of the metastatic prognosis, she also takes

supplements - IV-C, PawPaw, IP6, Beta Glucans, as well as a wide variety of

vitamins and minerals. So far, so good. Her great condition is only marred by

the fact that she has cancer! She hasn't had a CT scan in a about a year - no

changes in the 1st 15 months, so no more scans. 3 spine bone mets were

initially confirmed - liver and lung mets were suspected, but not positively

confirmed even after a PET scan.

Best to you,

Steve

Yes, all of her current treatment started at nearly the same time as her

oophorectomy just over 2 years ago(a month or 2 at most either way as we settled

in on a plan).

It's one thing to " feel " what makes a difference, but it is unfortunately

impossible to know. The only thing I can say is that I firmly believe that she

would not be enjoying her present good state without the " complementary "

treatment. As a matter of fact, we believe that some of the symptoms she has -

joint stiffness and the like are being caused by the Arimidex/Zometa. It just

takes more courage than we can muster right now to trash all of the traditional

treatment.

Thank to all for the Cimetidine info - very interesting. I for one would very

much like to hear from anyone who tries that therapy - good results or not.

Thanks for writing, Steve. Did your wife start the Arimidex at the same time as

the oophorectomy and/or the LDN? Does she feel that the LDN made a major

difference - that it is largely responsible for the stasis/well being she

currently enjoys?

I was taking IP6 and Beta Glucans and had had the hysterectomy when I had my

last big progression, so that didn't help me very much - but my cancer is 'grade

4', so very aggressive. And now I'm wondering if perhaps the mastectomy and

hysterectomy may have made things worse because of the effects of the

anaesthesia. Interesting thread on that the other day!

In any case, the LDN has helped me a lot with the bone pain, so I am grateful

for that whatever it may or may not do for the cancer itself, but I am very

anxious to get the results of my latest scan. I'm getting those results on

Tuesday, so we'll see! In the meantime, thank you very much for the

encouragement - it helps, since I'm working up a head of steam on my

pre-scan-results anxiety...
